I believe this to be a fair assessment.
Maybe Wilson is the only QB I would not rate ahead of Dak.

I totally agree with Dak's being a fair assessment. Wilson's rating seems a reflection of last year, mixed with his entire career. :huh:

Seems like Brady got underassessed somewhat, as well.

Yes.

If we play poorly the list of blame before it gets to Dak will be long for some.
Ok. Just to play devils advocate. What if Dak and the Cowboys play the way they did for 7 games last season? Will you admit you were wrong? I already have I am just wondering if you will do the same.

I think Brady is also the defacto #1 GOAT. When Brady hits his back foot and releases to an open man. There is nobody better. Still has good zip on short and intermediate crossers at his age is unbelievable.

Rewatched the DAL-TB game last night. Brady had 2 intentional groundings at the end of that game. That was garbage the refs let him do that. Also Diggs was inches away from winning the game with a pick on the last drive.
That would mean that Dak outplayed Brady in that game though. Some here blame him for the loss. I am really confused.

Just another useless opinion list to me anyway. I don't really care where who is ranked. I just think it is funny as too many take it seriously.
Some get riled up Dak it not higher, some get riled up Dak is not lower.

Some are probably mad that Dak is higher than Jackson and in the top 10. Maybe Cousins should be at 10 instead of Jackson. Or Cousins at 9, Dak at 10. It doesn't really matter.

Dak is our QB and that is who I root for, until he is replaced, then I root for that QB.


Well said!! I think the rankings are pretty much spot on. Dak has been a top 10 quarterback since he's been in the league. I think its hilarious how a handful of "Cowboys fans" actually root against their own starting quarterback. When Dak plays well, they aren't really happy and they stay off of this forum until the next time Dak has a bad game or we lose, then they'll come back that whole week after a loss and post and start threads everyday. Dak could have a damn near perfect game but the defense could give up 500 yards in the air and 250 on the ground and those specific "Cowboys fans" would STILL blame Dak for the loss.

Alot of knowledgeable fans here post legitimate gripes and disappointing things Dak has done and Dak definitely has to take a bigger step this year, no question. But there are one or two people here who dislike Dak, no matter how well he plays because their REAL problem with him has nothing to do with football or on-field production, i promise you.

Good to see Simms has an opinion that a dollar will get you a cup of coffee. I will say the same thing I did about Romo until or unless Dak is able to lead this team to a SB he will be dogged by some fans. It really is that simple.

I agree. Dak can throw for 500 yards and 5 TDs and lose and it will be his fault for "not doing it sooner'. The grade for garbage time seems to be ever changing. My opinion on garbage time is if you put your team in a position to win the game after going down those stats are not garbage stats. There are many here who would much rather be "right" than to see the cowboys win. Heck theres people here who I wont name that hated the Parsons pick and went against it until they saw him play. Then said "well i didnt know he could rush the passer like that, 11 other teams agreed with me " lol. Its the way this board is.

Joe Burrow ahead of Aaron Rodgers?
:lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2:
I mean. They have been to the same amount of SBs lol. I still hate the fact that Donald blew up that last play. Burrow had Chase deep and Jalen Ramsey was on the floor.

I genuinely don't understand the Justin Herbert hype. I know he's good but top 5 over Rodgers? No way.

Wait a minute! I mentioned Josh Allen was better than Dak a couple years ago. I was told by many Cowboy fans on this form Josh Allen was garbage right before he destroyed Dallas on Thanksgiving.

I was probably one of those guys. I was absolutely not sold on Josh whatsoever. He's proved me so wrong that I no longer have the walkaround confidence to wear shorts anymore.

If Rodgers still had Adams, I would agree but he is unknown without his go to guy. Same with Prescott and Mahomes.

Flavor of the month. Allen got trashed his first couple of years. Remember all of the "he's inaccurate" chatter?
To be fair, he has dramatically improved since his rookie year.
That was the hope when he was drafted.
A fairly raw talent with huge upside.

He's just not the same player at all. Way better now.

#1 though? Nah

As I stated on another post...
There are 2 groups here.
The first group's opinions sound more like Jimmy Johnson, Kurt Warner and Troy Aikman in their discussion of Dak's play. Since those 3 have unquestionable credibility in discussing Dak's play my opinion aligns with theirs as well.

And then there's the other group here.

Chatter is what the haters do when calling Dak inaccurate.

Allen couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in his first couple of years. To his credit, he has improved his accurately immensely.

I don't care to admit I'm wrong about anything.

It's just going to take more than regular season success for me to do that. I'm not falling for the fools gold again like I did last year.

When we are not RUNNING we are LOSING!!!
Right, Dak???????????????:eek:

P.S. I'm pretty sure there are hand-off machines out there for less than 160 million!!!:muttley:
